Me: "Ellie, how was school today?"
Ellie: "Sofia. Isabella. No Mia. My friend Mio."
For months Ellie has been telling us about her friend "Mio" (pronounced Me-Yo).
We have been confused because we don't know anyone at school with that name, but she always insists that she has a friend named Mio, along with her best little buddy, Mia. We asked her teacher who confirmed that there's no boy with that name at school. We shrugged it off. We figured it must be something lost in translation.
A couple mornings ago we were talking about Ellie's friend, Jose Carlos. Ellie told us, "Jose Carlos is my friend. He always says 'mio.'"
Mio means mine.
And suddenly, it clicked. Jose Carlos IS "Mio!"
Michael and I had a really good laugh because we've been confused about this for months.
Mystery solved.
